The Effect of Knee Osteoarthritis on the Variability and Fractal Dynamics of Human Gait
… of stride-to-stride fluctuations with respect to time) and the fractal-scaling index (FSI) (i.e., correlated self-similar patterns of gait) can provide better information about the rhythmicity of the gait cycle over time. Recent studies have shown a relationship between knee OA and gait …

The Influence of the Initiation of a Graded Exercise Protocol on Dynamic Postural Stability Following a Concussion
… the fluctuation in gait characteristic between steps, is a sensitive measure of postural stability in populations with higher level gait disorders. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of a progressive exertional return-to-play program on dynamic postural stability …

The Impact of High-Cadence Cycling on Overground Running Performance in Recreational Runners
… then immediately repeated the 800 m run. Total time, average cadence, step length, step time, velocity, and rate of perceived exertion were analyzed. Participants were also classified by running strategy groups using Length-Time Difference (LTD). Dependent-samples t-test revealed that 800 m time …

An iterative pressure-correction method for the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes Equation
… layer, and a limited order of convergence in time. We investigate the benefit of performing more than one iteration. We show that that not only performing more iterations attenuates the effects of the splitting error, but also that it can be more computationally efficient than reducing the …

In-home Gait Health Monitoring using Machine Learning and Ambient Sensing
… and general well-being. Gait parameters such as step time variability and ground reaction forces are essential in distinguishing pathological and normal gait; changes in gait can be observed years before a patient is diagnosed with diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. Despite its importance, the …

Gait variability in persons with multiple sclerosis
… fluctuations in the mechanics and kinematics of steps during walking, has been associated with motor control function, stability and falls in other populations but has not been thoroughly documented in people with MS. In this thesis, gait variability is documented in different samples of people …

A mixed mode function - boundary element method for very large floating structure - water interaction systems excited by airplane landing impacts
… and the surrounding fluid are solved using a step by step time integration procedure based<br/>on the Newmark assumptions.<br/><br/>A FORTRAN program MMFBEP is written to implement the proposed numerical method. A few examples are completed to validate the mathematical model and the developed …

Interactive Bayesian identification of kinematic mechanisms
… the racing technique does so without increasing step time of the filter over random action selection. We analyze Bayesian filtering in a hybrid space for model comparison. We discuss the appropriateness of continuous state-space, parametric filters for the mechanism identification problem. We …

ESTIMATING THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF GENDER WAGE DISCRIMINATION IN ETHIOPIA
… for the period 1996 through 2010. We adopt a two-step time-variant panel stochastic frontier model using a translog production function. Our results provide fresh evidence on the existence of a significant negative association between gender wage gap and predicted technical efficiencies of firms. …

Effects Of Chemotherapy-Induced-Peripheral-Neuropathy On Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters And Fall Risk In Cancer Patients After The Completion Of Chemotherapy Drug Treatment
… consisted of determining fall risk using the Timed Up & Go test. <strong>Results: </strong>Gait velocity for CIPN patients (110. 75 cm/s, <em>SD</em> = 26.79), was significantly slower than gait velocity of the controls (147.79 cm/s,<em> SD</em> = 11.69). Step length was significantly shorter …

The use of inertial measurement units for the determination of gait spatio-temporal parameters
… reliability calculations found no difference for step time, stride length and walking speed for people with PD. Inter-rater reliability was found not to be different for the same parameters. The optimisation of the correction factor when using the inverted pendulum model showed no significant …

Design and Clinical Evaluation of a Digital Transtibial Prosthetic Interface
… designed interfaces require extensive time from the patient and an experienced prosthetist, with these factors compounding to make the entire process inaccessible to the majority of persons with amputation. To address these problems, this thesis outlines a prosthetic interface design …

ENERGY-AWARE JOB SCHEDULING AND CONSOLIDATION APPROACHES FOR WORKFLOWS IN CLOUD
… and their primary concern has been execution time considerations. As a result of this thinking, little attention was paid to energy consumption and energy costs. However, nowadays energy cost has gained more and more attention from the service providers. This new reality has posed many new …

Computer-aided design of tension structures
… of which the main one is the saving in design time which has been achieved. As the CAD system is highly user friendly, only a short learning period is required, thus enabling it to be used more widely among designers. The CAD system also serves as a useful tool for the communication of ideas …
